FUED ENDS IL MURDER.
An Old Quarrel About a Roadway Through
Piece of Land Results in Tragedy.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERsoNvILLE, JuHe 9.-The details Of a
shocking tragedy enacted near Charlestown,
twelve miles from here, this morning, at
o'clock, reached this city at noon
to-day, the victim being Samuel T. Hay. cousin
o. Sheriff Charles Hay of this city, and the
Ierpetrator of the crime Jacob Robinson a
wealthy farmer. The tragedy was the
elimination of en- old feud that has
existed between the Robinson and
Hay families for the past three years, and
which grew out of a suit for roadway through
the farm of Robinson. Hay, who was unmarried
and resided with his widowed mother. had no
outlet from his farm. except through the prem
Uses of Robinson. He brought suit before JUS
rice Hucklebesry, of Charlesrowa, recently, for
right of way, and verdict
in his favor rendered. This
served to rekindle Robinson's hatred towards
Hay, and he threatened to kill the whole fam
lily. Aiming himself with a double barreled
shotgun he left his home this morning,
it seems, with fixed determin alton
to commit murder. Meeting Hay and his sister
in buggy, their way to Charlestown he
raised his gun. and, without a word Of warning
emptied both loads into the breast of the for
mer, who tell lifeless. Robinson surrendered
himself to Constable Boyer, of Charlestown
this afternoon.

JaT Davis af Atlanta.

Much is being said about the propriety or
impropricty of jeff Davis attending the Fair
in Atlanta. Mr.. Davis being a citizen OF q
free country we think he, like every olher GU
izen, has a perfect right to go. He has no
more right, however, to speak for this coun.
try than any other good citizen. If he goes
he. like Cleveland, will add something to the
show, or menageric, and whatever adds to the
show In q legitimate way may be all wen
enough. But as q matter OF fact, we are III,
clined to the opinion that both Cleveland ana
Davis should stay away from Atlanta. MI
Cleveland is now solid in the South He has
nothing to gain by coming here, and he may
lose much. The Republicans know that he
will be re-nominatcd for the Presidency, ana
if any Of their newspaper reporters may dis-
tort anything he may say, they Will be very
sure to do so. Mr.. Davis had better stay
away. TO be exhibited as q rare animal at
show would not be much of compliment 10

DIR. Hawthorne's Dilemma.

DIR. Hawthorne in his reply 10 "AnNious In
ou.rer's" charge and proof of his plagiarism,
makes no effort to disprove his literary theft
from DR.. Strong's book, but copies letter
from the author OF the book which settles any
doubt on that question. DR.. Strong says to DIR.
Hawthorne:
"DEAR BRoTHER-Accept my thanks Tor
the compliment YOU have PAID my wor9s ny
stealing them. The little book was maze Ior
use. Yours sincerely, JOSIAH STRONG.
Even after producing this letter which set
ties the question beyond the shadow OF a
doubt, DIR. Hawthorne still denies the indis-
putable fact, and tor his vindication, relies up
on unfounded and unjust charges of Il specific
rature against "AnXious Inquirer whom he
in the same breath pretends not to know.
DIR Hawthorne may he very able man.
but his letter to the augusta Chronicle proves
that he can do q very foolish thing, and that
even preacher OF the gospel may be very
Ead man at heart. The letter shows that he
is not scrupulous as to correctness OF asScr-
tions. which were made without warrant in
fact. and which have for them no foundation
in truth DR.. Hawthorne first accused ell,
zen of Atlanta Of writing the letters, ana
since he has learned that IL is a citizen OF 40
beville who charges him with plagiarism, ne
adopts the vilest language in utterlnS mall
cious and false statements against man
whose character Is better than his own. A
man who will wilfully make false statements
damaging to the character Of another must
have O bad heart indeed.

The Trade.

During the last week there have been signs
of life and activity on our streets, and In our
business houses. The double daily trains
from Hodges is in answer to the increasing
demand for transportation. The farmers, as
a rule, are abunduatly satisfied with their
splendid prospects and already wagon loads
of cotton on our public square make glad the
heart of husbandmar and cotton buyers.
The fodder have been saved. The sorghum
mills are at work. The cotton Is opening In
the field. Wherever we look, whether In
town or country, the people are busy. The
farmers are gathering their crops. the ma
chinist and the mechanic are at work, the
merchant Is filling his store ceiling high with
the most desirable goods. No matter in what
station of lie, every citizen seems to have
partaken something Of the renewed life and
animation,

hour before the arrival OF the train from

to Abbeville has been subjected to two un-

There can be no possible justifiable excuse

one train q day has been run, except for an
unfriendly and unkind desire to do this peo-
pie an injurious act, or TO make manifest the
tyranny which comes from the othclai pos

Now, let us not be misunderstood. During
the winter season when We had two trains
day from Hodges, the delay may have been
necessary In order to give time for the shiit-
ing Of the cars, but this necessity ceased last
spring when the train began to lie over sever

Greenville train while waiting for the Column

DR., HawthOrne's Insult to the People.

The Press and Banners prohibition senti
ments we presume are not doubted IN thls
community, butwe wart no such temperance
leader as Dr. Hawthorne to come this way.
II the question OF prohibition cannot be set
tied by a fair presentation Of the subject, then
we want 1t left unsettled. We do not propose
to follow the leadership of any man who
lacks the ability to present the subject, and
those who expect to win their cause by assail-
Ing the character of any class of citizens must
do so without the aid and comfort of the Press
and Banner.
No man, no matter what his cause, can get
our sympathy and help who assails foreign
ers. The best people OF this country are the
descendants of foreigners, and there are to-
day thousands Of foreigners in this State who
are thousand times better than DR.. Haw-
thorne. or any other man who assails charac-
ter. The man who assails foreigners in
country whose citizens are made up of for
eigners, or their descendants, is simply man
without reason, common sense or goodness o!
heart. This country was settled by foreign
ers, and we are their descendants, and he
who speaks contemptuously of foreigners
simply expresses contempt for his ancestors.
while proclaiming his own shame.
If we mistake not the name of "Haw-
thorne' is known in Ireland. Then If Or.
Hawthorne is the descendant of foreigner
his wholesale charges against foreigners arc
enough to condemn him in the eyes OF al
good and true men in the United States.
All this talk against foreigners is an insul;
to every true American citizen, and Is one
which should be resented by every man who
rcspectS either his ancestors or his own char
acter. The foreigners Of to-day are just as
good as were the foreigners from whom DIR.
Hawthorne and his like descended. We are
all foreigners, and he who assais the foreign
ers Of today as class, deserves the contempt
of all the good men on this continent. We
assert without any fear OF contradiction, that
no man on the soil Of the United States can
Justly assume to be better or wiser than those
of foreign blood, and those who speak con-
temptuously of foreigners, as DIR. Hawthorne
has done, will receive the contempt which a
selfrespectlng people will award to him who
insults them.
